OLD LYME — On Wednesday, Nov. 16, Old Lyme Police and Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau (LYSB) are holding the second day of their Thanksgiving Food Drive from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Old Lyme Marketplace near the Big Y. The third and final day of the Food Drive will be Saturday, Nov. 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

All food donated will be forwarded to the Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau for distribution to families in need.

Food will also be given to stock the mini-pantries at Lymes’ Senior Center and the Town of Old Lyme Social Services.

After local needs are met, all remaining food will be given to Shoreline Soup Kitchens.
